Abstract:

The properties of an unusual hemoglobin found in patients with diabetes mellitus resembled those of hemoglobin A1c prepared from normal subjects. A two-fold increase of hemoglobin A1c was found in diabetic patients. Structural studies suggest the possibility that an amino sugar is bound to hemoglobin A1c in diabetic patients.
